Apart from my mutuals, I really have no idea what most podcasters actually look like. Somebody I've listened to for years posted a selfie yesterday and I was like oh interesting, it's too bad I've already pictured you and your co-host as Space Ghost and Zorak and will not be updating my mental model

My doctor accidentally scheduled me for a video visit and I'm happy to oblige, it's just that I'm not sure my webcam is up to the task given that it was supposed to be a colorectal exam

I prefer to imagine that through practice I've stilled my mind to the point that it'll allow my body a moment of respectful silence for a pure feeling, unshielded by intellectual explanation, and not that there's something happening that I'm in such deep denial about that I can't even think about it

I'm used to intellectualizing my feelings, but lately I have had some strange new experiences with grief, where I am struck by a heavy emotion with no thought attached. I have plenty of reasons to be sad and I can speculate about a cause, but I can't know for sure. I am simply feeling something

Being right feels so good sometimes. I was listening to the new Agriculture (a solid black metal album). In the quieter moments towards the end I was like... hold on, this second singer has been listening to Mount Eerie/The Microphones for SURE. Googled, found a list of album recs from the band BOOM

Genuinely enjoying that I seem to have passed on the role of The Obliterator to you - I hope you enjoy being possessed by that particular ghost and pass it on in turn when you need to

I feel like the lesbian hook up scene would be so much more accessible if dance parties didn't make me hiss and scratch like a trapped animal. Instead I am kinda stuck with the lesbian do mushrooms in the woods scene. It's possible that I am a tanuki

I've reached the apex of my commitment to the "everything must have a container to live in" ADHD organization rule, and now that it's time to pack for a move I'm looking around like

I had a Tilonalli's Summoner + Mystic Reflection gag that could create a fun number of them, but Arena does not like calculating that many triggers

Ok now that I'm not in a DBZ fugue I'm realizing sexy future trunks is actually maybe not a great Halloween costume idea

They use a 32 bit integer for the life totals and (at least a few years ago) there weren't overflow checks, so if you got someone's life total lower than -2,147,483,648 it would loop back to being positive. I had a craterhoof duping deck that got close but my cpu would grind out in the millions

Last year I learned to isolate the feeling of irresistible inevitability that signals that I have an addictive relationship with something and I'm cutting those things out of my life: no smoking, no drinking, no short-reward-loop video games and no disastrous and ill-advised crushes

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Fashion moves in cycles, but the cycle is growing shorter. It used to be that fashions from 25 years ago came back, but it shortened to 20 and then 15. Just saw a post about returning trends from 2016. Soon we will be revisiting the present as it happens, before finally bringing back the future
